This week we discuss cilia length, ciliopathies and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (also known as ‘Chlamy’) with Brae Briggs (@BiggeBrae), a graduate student from at Dartmouth (@dartmouth),Geisel School of Medicine (@GeiselMed). We find out about a range of ciliopathies, the main composition of cilia as well as using ‘Chlamy’ as a model to study cilia length. We also discuss the difficulties of moving in the middle of a PhD and pandemic, open science principles including preprints as well as how we try to have healthy work life balance.
